That example has stuck with me for the past few days and has in a sense taken away some motivation to complete my studies and sit for the licensing test.

@Darrell EssexYou’ll use similar tactics to find real estate wholesalers as you would to find motivated home sellers or homes for sale.

Infact I lived in Columbus, Cleveland as well as Tampa, for 2 years each and that is one of the motivations to look into these areas, along with the fact that they are either appreciating or cash flowing areas.

I do this to try to motivate them to not be ridiculous with water use (like letting the water run to brush your teeth or when you wash dishes, or take long showers that empty the hot water tank, etc)In all my leases, I have a clause that says all appliances on the property are left as a curtesy, and if they break, either the tenant needs to fix them or buy their own.

Thanks for sharing your success story in great detail, it helps beginners like me stay motivated and know that it can be done.

@Kyle Curtin Excellent bit of motivation and guidance, Kyle.

These properties usually need quite a bit of work, and the owner is often motivated to sell and isn’t interested in working with a real estate agent.From there, the wholesaler will enter into a wholesale real estate contract and then reassign the contract to an end buyer for a higher price.

It’s motivating for us to spend the time to do that when we know our efforts are realized & appreciated.Feel free to set up a call with me if you have more feedback.

Not asking you to defend that, because you've done so on this forum elsewhere, just explaining my motivations here. 

I am a Strong leader and mentor to the team and motivate others by recognition and organizing the team to achieve common goals.
